| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
My project chronicles the profound shift in geographic imaginings that occurred in African American literature between the World Wars. Specifically, it examines the narrative of what I call the “black Pacific”―the literary and cultural production of African American narratives of the Pacific in the face of America’s efforts to internationalize the Pacific and to institute a “Pacific Community,” reflecting a vision of a hemispheric regional order initiated and led by the United States. The black Pacific was imagined contrapuntally to this regional order in the making.
